A person of impact

maverickguy.jpgOver the last month or so our youth ministry has been talking in small groups about becoming a person of impact. As you consider how to be an example in your speech, life, love, faith, and—tonight—purity, what steps are you taking to be a person of impact?


James says, "But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it." (James 1:22-25)


Think about this:


How can the way you speak be a better witness for God?


How can the way you live your life be a better witness for God?


How can the way you love be a better witness for God?


How can the way you display your faith be a better witness for God?


How can your approach to purity be a better witness for God?


Take time to reflect on Paul’s advice to be an example in your speech, life, love, faith, and purity. Where is it that a change in your life will help expand the Kingdom of God in the place where you live?
